Aberree and Manweller
In Oct '60, Aberree brought in two astrologers to forecast the '60 election.
One of them put out the usual apocalyptic nonsense**, based on the bizarre wacked-out delusion that elections create "democracy", therefore eliminating elections removes "democracy".
He saw Ike cancelling the '60 election and Gen MacArthur taking over in a military coup. The astrologer treated this as a disaster, but he was wrong. Consider how MacArthur improved Japan. He could have done the same for America. Japan won the industrial battle of the '70s because MacArthur brought the best parts of America (ie Fordism) into Japan, while America lost the battle because we replaced Fordism by Goldmanism. This astrologer was broadly right about the 'breakdown' starting in 73, but wrong about all the details.

The other astrologer called the election correctly, with a couple of wonderfully accurate details. Whether the details came from the stars or from an astute analysis of the two men, they're still excellent.

** Apocalyptoids ALWAYS claim that disaster is preventable by picking the correct party. Apocalyptoids ALWAYS tell us that Current President Of Incorrect Party is going to cancel the election and declare himself President For Life. The above item gives us proof that the same idiocy has been running verbatim for 57 years ... probably a lot longer.
They're wrong about both parts. As always, they're hopelessly gullible and naive, the exact opposite of paranoid. They believe that elections exist, and they believe that presidents have power.
The disaster isn't in the future. It started in 1776 when the colonies broke away from Britain and created a new insane country based on nonsensical counterfactual theories. They could have used their protests and boycotts to negotiate better treatment, but they didn't. The disaster got worse in 1787 when the colonists wrote the insane theories into a system guaranteed to produce tyranny. They could have turned back in 1792 when the theories received an early and bloody proof in France, but they didn't. The disaster was locked in 1803 when the Supreme Screeching Demons tore up the bad constitution and replaced it with raw personal authority of the Supreme Screeching Demons. Congress could have shut down the Demons, but Congress failed. Since then, the disaster has been permanent and unsolvable.
And the current president is NOT going to declare himself President for life because he doesn't have the power to declare much of anything. He is Deepstate's slave. JFK realized this and briefly tried to "fight the devil and all his imps". After that he was "not destined to live a long life."
